Default My 93 del Sol won't run

Hey I have a 93 del Sol with the 1.5 sohc and sometimes it won't start. It will crank over and run for about two seconds then die and not start. Ive cleaned the points and rotor on the distributor butit doesn't seem to have worked. Any help would be great.

Last full ignition system tune up?

CEL codes?

Fuel pump primes?

Bright white spark at the plugs?

Mechanical timing good?

Listen for fuel pump priming for 2 seconds when key is turned from OFF to ON(II).

Check for spark: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...blems-2919450/

Pull the CEL codes (see Codes sticky)

After no-start is solved, replace plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.

If the fuel pump doesnt prime or it will intermittently, replace your main relay.
